Knicks Radio Analyst Shades Taylor Swift Attending Game 4 of the NBA Finals: ‘Get Out of Here, Girl’

New York Knicks radio analyst Monica McNutt had a shady reaction to Taylor Swift’s attendance at Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The “Fate of Ophelia” singer, 36, was spotted courtside Wednesday, June 10, for the Knicks’ narrow victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden in New York City, sitting alongside Alana and Este Haim.

Swift’s appearance caught the attention of NBA radio commentators Tyler Murray and McNutt, 36, per footage posted on social media.

The duo appeared to be unaware that they were still broadcasting as McNutt asked, “Is that Taylor Swift down there?” Murray then whipped out his phone to take a photo of the singer for his wife.

McNutt can then be heard saying, “She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl.”

Us Weekly has reached out to McNutt’s representative for comment.

Social media users came to Swift’s defense, noting her longtime fandom of the Knicks.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy shared via X, “Damn. Hate to see @McNuttMonica hating on Taylor Swift. Lots of new faces in the crowd. Don’t see her singling them out.”

Swift was among the A-listers who cheered on the Knicks on Wednesday night, sitting beside Alana and Este Haim and Mariska Hargitay.

The singer was spotted sitting just a few rows ahead of Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney and her boyfriend, music manager Scooter Braun, with whom she was involved in a dispute over the master recordings of her first six albums in 2019. At the time, Braun purchased Swift’s then-record label Big Machine Records. Braun sold the masters to Shamrock Holdings in 2020, who then sold them to Swift in 2025, allowing her full control over her music catalog.

“[I] went from being like, loved and appreciated for over a decade to literally a villain the next night,” Braun said of the feud during a May appearance on Suzy Weiss’ “Second Thought” podcast.

“I don’t want to go into that, but I will say something that will really sum it up that I don’t know if I’ve ever really said,” Braun, 44, continued. “I don’t know Taylor Swift. I think I’ve met her in my life three times.”

“I have never had a substantial conversation with her in my life,” Braun said. “I one time got invited to a private party by her. She told me she had the utmost respect for me. I told her I had the most respect for her. You don’t spend $300 million buying a label that she’s on unless you’re excited at the opportunity to work with her.”

He added, “I think I spoke to her, really, once for like more than two minutes. But it was a very nice conversation. And beyond that, nothing ever. And then the three years prior to us buying Big Machine, she and I had no contact. I think it was two years. The party was like two years earlier or three years earlier, and then never had any contact through the whole thing. So I’m just as confused that this is part of my life as you are. But I choose to learn and grow from it.”
